[20:00] <~anlarye> |     Session 66 - Imperial Dreams
[20:00] <~anlarye> |
[20:00] <~anlarye> |--------------------------------------
[20:00] <~anlarye> |
[20:00] <~anlarye> | King Alderic has accused the former
[20:00] <~anlarye> | King's Regent as a "meat-puppet".
[20:00] <~anlarye> | Stating that Leopold has surrounded
[20:00] <~anlarye> | himself with weak willed people. And
[20:00] <~anlarye> | that Lord Cedric, the former "Voice
[20:00] <~anlarye> | of the King" is one of them and that
[20:00] <~anlarye> | he should not represent the Nation
[20:00] <~anlarye> | of Strength.
[20:00] <~anlarye> |
[20:00] <~anlarye> | King Alderic's reign of Valimar is
[20:00] <~anlarye> | but a day and a half old. In this
[20:00] <~anlarye> | time, 8 people have lost their
[20:01] <~anlarye> | lives. One by the King's own hand,
[20:01] <~anlarye> | the Lady Carmine, an ancient Red
[20:01] <~anlarye> | Dragon who ruled Valimar with Lord
[20:01] <~anlarye> | Cedric. The other 7 by the King's
[20:01] <~anlarye> | command.
[20:01] <~anlarye> |
[20:01] <~anlarye> | Within the King's makeshift throne
[20:01] <~anlarye> | room. He has risen from his throne to
[20:01] <~anlarye> | demand how Lord Cedric was ever
[20:01] <~anlarye> | granted his position under the former
[20:01] <~anlarye> | King.
[20:01] <~anlarye> |
[20:01] <~anlarye> | The near artic temperatures are
[20:01] <~anlarye> | starting to be felt. As the palace
[20:01] <~anlarye> | rooms grow colder every hour.

[20:12] <~anlarye> ::Cedric:: "I am no meat-puppet. I am Valimarian. You are stronger than I expected Your Majesty."
[20:16] * +Alianna watches Alderic closely, hand ready to draw her Zulu Arms pistol if need be.

[20:21] <+Alderic> "That's what I said. Meat-puppet."
[20:22] <+Alderic> "Was your little tantrum supposed to prove something. Please tell me you have more punch than that!?"
[20:23] <~anlarye> ::Cedric looks to the King before him:: "Do you want something Lord Alderic or do you wish to just stand there and toss insults at me like a winey child?"
[20:28] <+Alderic> "This is the kingdom of strength Cedric. I've no use for lick-spittles as Leopold did. Show me what you are made of."
[20:28] <+Alderic> ::he waves Cedric on to try again with a smirk::
[20:33] * +Alianna stands very alert, not doing anything yet but watching the confrontation very closely.
[20:34] <~anlarye> ::Cedric:: "You are a waist of my time and effort. Physically you out match me. I am merely human. You are a half bred monster like the one you killed yesterday. I have nothing to prove to you or anyone of the idiots you still have here."
[20:35] <~anlarye> ::Cedric turns on his heals to leave:: "Long live Valimar."

[20:56] <+Alderic> ::His sword staff suddenly thrusts through Cedric's gut up to the hilt, Alderic suddenly disappearing from the thrown and appearing infront of Cedric as he turns his back. He snarls at Cedric::
[20:56] * +Alianna looks very alarmed but stays in her place behind and to the right of the makeshift throne.
[20:57] <+Alderic> "I did not dismiss you Cedric...."
[20:59] <~anlarye> ::Cedric let's out a gasp as he tries to speak, a bit of disbelief in his eyes:: "I ... am ... ":: he pauses as blood drips from his mouth as he attempts to catch his breath::
[21:02] <~anlarye> ::the rest of the chamber appears to be in a bit of panic and chaos, some of the onlookers, those not part of the Royal Court have fled the room. the rest of the Valimarian Lords look to one another wondering what to do::
[21:02] * +Alianna is equally unsettled and unsure.
[21:02] <+Alderic> ::He lets out a battle cry and, using his staff he pushes Cedric back and to the left, rushing towards a wall. With a grunt the steel sticking out of Cedric's back drives deep into the wall, tacking Cedric in place like a bug::
[21:04] <+Alderic> ::He leans in close to Cedric as if to whisper, but speaks in a roar:: "YOU. ARE. DISMISSED!"
[21:05] * +Alianna looks at Alderic with dismay in her eyes, unsure whether to request a private discussion with him in present mood or not.
[21:05] <~anlarye> ::Cedric grimacing against the pain:: "I'd kill them all ..." ::he says glancing to the rest of the court::
[21:08] <+Alderic> ::Turns and snarls at Cedric:: "No Cedric, you would lick my feet and pretend to serve while plotting my death. THAT, is what you would do, and did. It was a mistake."
[21:16] <+Alderic> ::Raises his voice to be heard:: "Lord Cedric and Lady Carmine are hereby stripped of all lands, wealth, and titles. Such things are transferred immediately to Lady Alianna and Lord Elden."
[21:17] * +Alianna does not look especially pleased at her elevation in rank and wealth; she still looks dismayed and unsettled.
[21:18] <~anlarye> ::Cedric lowers his head and mumbles to himself breathing hard in the cold dry air::
[21:18] <+Alderic> ::Looks back to Cedric:: "Bring this trash to a healer, and when he is ready, back to me. If he escapes...." ::his eyes go cool and he displays the predatorial look of his father for a moment:: "I will hold those responsible, accountable."

[21:24] <~anlarye> ::Cedric looks up directly at Alderic with murder in his eyes::
[21:25] * +Alianna sees the look in Cedric's eyes and goes on the alert again.
[21:31] * +Alianna (~DesertRose@DesertRose.Editor.Writer.Creator) Quit (Quit: DesertRose withers away.)
